Live jazz, celebrity blackjack, martini and whiskey tastings and fabulous food. It was a celebration to remember this past weekend as the Adoptive Families Association of BC held their gala fundraiser in the history Stanley Park Pavilion. Fabulous auction items helped raise even more money, the most popular of which was a custom Fire in the Kitchen package cooked and served by some of the city’s most handsome firefighters.

05 – North Van’s Marie and Kevin Middleton were among the VIPs. Kevin also donated services from his mobile audio and lighting company to make things sound great.

06 – Making the trip from the North Shore to enjoy the jazz are Andrew and Lianne Britnell, left, and Laurie and Lane Oseen.

07 – BC Lions Geroy Simon, left, and Kid Carson of The Beat pose with guests as part of the celebrity blackjack event.

08 – The girls of the Sweet Soul Burlesque troupe help make the night that much more glamorous with their feathers and frills.
